Garden City Community College is launching a new Crop Production Technology program in Fall 2024. This comprehensive pathway within the college’s Agriculture department provides students with the opportunity to earn an Associate in Science degree, an Associate in Applied Science degree, or one of three specialized certificates.
The program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to gain practical experience in crop management, weed control, water usage, soil fertility, and crop scouting. They will do so through GCCC’s state-of-the-art on-campus greenhouse, which offers year-round training in the field. The greenhouse will primarily focus on corn production, enabling students to observe different growth stages and learn about nutrient deficiencies.
Elisa Mai, Assistant Professor of Crop Production Technology, shared her vision for the program: “Our goal is to give students real-life experiences in crop production technology. We want our graduates to feel confident and prepared to enter the workforce or manage their own farms.”
The Crop Production Technology program is part of GCCC’s Title III Hispanic Serving Institution STEM Grant and offers various educational pathways to accommodate different career goals. These pathways include Certificate A, Certificate B, Certificate C, Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate in Science (A.S.). Prospective students can apply for the program through GCCC’s website now.
